[Gllug] /etc/hosts caching

I'm moving a domain between a couple of hosts, and hence I need to be
able to tinker with /etc/hosts to map the domain to one ip or another
for testing etc.

But each time I change it, I have to reboot the computer for the change
to be picked up.

Is there a way to avoid rebooting?  I'm not running bind or anything
locally - the dns is handled remotely, and I don't want to start
changing that until I've fully tested.
